It has a border with Italy, Austria, Hungary and Croatia. The capital Ljubljana is a modern, fresh, young, creative and surprising city. Slovenia, a green and diverse country between the Alps and the Mediterranean, boasts all the beauties of the Old World. When you want to experience Europe in one stroke, come to Slovenia. In just 20,273 square kilometres there are snow- covered mountains, a sea coast bathing in the Mediterranean sun, beautiful karst caves and thermal springs, narrow white-water canyons and wide slow moving rivers, high mountain lakes and lakes that disappear mysteriously underground at the start of summer, ancient villages and medieval cities, the antique castles and modern entertainment, countless vineyards with top quality wines, and the only primeval forest in Europe. Here in this small and easily covered area, where hundreds of birds migrating south make a briefly stop and where dozens of unique indigenous plants find their home, more diverse experiences await you all year round than can be found anywhere else. GREEN CHARMS OF SLOVENIA 2 SUGGESTED ITINERARY DAY 1 Arrival to Ljubljana Airport Drive to Bled (20km) and check-in to a hotel Dinner at a local restaurant Overnight in Bled BLED – Alpine pearl of Slovenia The picture-postcard of the Alpine town of Bled was once the preferred choice of the Austro Hungarian Empire’s elite. Its many charms include a medieval castle, perched high on a rocky cliff, a scenic lake studded by a tiny wooded island, and the alpine splendour of the nearby Triglav National Park, a natural wonderland of glacial valleys, glittering peaks, Limestone canyons, ice-cold tarns, flowered meadows, Alpine forests, Pretty hamlets and cascading waterfalls. It is a tourist place, surrounded by the wreaths of the Julian Alps and Karavanke Mountains, placed in a dish shaped basin of a glacial lake, the warmest in Europe. DAY 2 Breakfast in the hotel and check-out Pletna boat ride to Bled Island Visit of Bled Castle Continue to small village of Gorje and walk through Vintgar gorge Return to Bled for lunch at a local restaurant Drive to Bohinj lake (20km) and ride by cable car to Mount Vogel Check-in to a hotel Dinner in the hotel Overnight in Bohinj area VINTGAR – the gorgeous gorge The 1.6 km long Vintgar gorge carves its way through the vertical rocks of the Hom and Bort hills and is graced by the Radovna with its waterfalls, pools and rapids. The path leads you over bridges and Sumer’s galleries, and ends with a bridge overlooking the mighty 16m high Sum waterfall. Due to its natural beauty, Vintgar was classified among the more important tourist sites in Slovenia and the number of visitors increases every year. BOHINJ - one of the most beautiful places in the heart of the Julian Alps The natural beauty of high mountains, green forests, beautiful mountain pastures and meadows, the cultural and historical monuments, also friendly villages and towns with their hotels, restaurants, inns, and private rooms guarantee visitors a pleasant stay in Bohinj. It is an ideal starting point for day trips, for walks on the trails that run throughout the valley, and for mountaineering or climbing tours and offers ideal options and opportunities for rest and relaxation in all seasons. In winter the valley becomes a winter sports centre, while during the summer the most beautiful pearl of the valley, Lake Bohinj, invites bathers, and with the Sava Bohinjka River, kayakers and fishermen as well. GREEN CHARMS OF SLOVENIA 3 VOGEL – ski resort with fantastic panoramic view Mount Vogel (1,922 m) is the first mountain barrier above the Adriatic Sea. It is a high mountain setting in the heart of protected territory of the Triglav National Park. It is accessible by foot or by cable car. From the foot of the mountain (not far from the Lake Bohinj) you are lifted to the altitude of 1,535 m above sea level, from where you can enjoy an incredible panoramic view of the mountain range. DAY 3 Breakfast in the hotel and check-out Drive to Kranjska Gora and continue via Vrsic pass towards Bovec (90km) Visit of source of Soca River Lunch in Bovec at a local restaurant Check-in to a hotel Afternoon at leisure or optional rafting Dinner in the hotel Overnight in Bovec KRANJSKA GORA – a great opportunity for outdoor recreation in the superb natural surrounding Zgornjesavska valley is one of the most breath taking alpine valleys. The valley has developed into a major tourist and sports region, famed primarily for its World Cup competitions in alpine skiing and ski flights on the giant ski-jump in Planica. The valley, situated between Karavanke Mountains and the Julian Alps, is renowned for the hospitality and friendliness of the local people. Kranjska Gora is both the municipal centre and the largest town in Zgornjesavska valley as well as a famous year-round mountain tourist resort and an important, well-known winter sports resort. BOVEC – the valley of inspiration If you are seeking something for yourselves, your soul and body, you will find it in and around Bovec. There is plenty of all that you secretly wish: well-preserved and wild nature, mountains, the emerald river with its tributaries, the gentle and unique combination of Alpine and Mediterranean climates, centuries of preserved tradition, genuine people, their excellent hospitality and diverse services. SOCA VALLEY The Soca Valley is dominated by one of Europe's most beautiful rivers. The Soca's stunning turquoise hue flows for about 100km against a backdrop of imposing limestone mountains cloaked in dense forests, lush meadows rich in wildflowers and a clutch of small towns and villages, including Tolmin, Kobarid and Bovec. Besides its rich history - the WW1 Soca Front was one of the bloodiest mountain battles ever known - the valley is now a hiking, kayaking, and fly-fishing haven with much of the area set aside as part of the Triglav National Park. Rafting on the Soca River has for many years been a hallmark of the Soca Valley. It is an unforgettable adventure that inspires both large and small groups. It is suitable for all swimmers over 15 years old. With highly trained and friendly guides you will descend the section between Boka and Trnovo, the most attractive part of the Soca. GREEN CHARMS OF SLOVENIA 4 DAY 4 Breakfast in the hotel and check-out Drive to Kobarid (21km) and visit the museum of the WWI Lunch at a local restaurant Continue towards Portoroz (140km) Check-in to a hotel Dinner at a local restaurant Overnight in Portoroz KOBARID - a place of the biggest alpine battle in the I. world war One of the most renowned historical places in Slovenia was already inhabited in the Hallstat period and prospered in the Roman period. The town is mainly known for the aftermath of the Battle of Kobarid in October 1917, which placed Kobarid on the world map. Kobarid is known for the famous Battle of Caporetto, where the Italian retreat was documented by Ernest Hemingway in his novel A Farewell to Arms. The battle is well documented in the museum in the centre of Kobarid. During the Second World War, Kobarid was the centre of the liberated territory, called the Kobarid Republic. The Kobarid museum presents the story of these historical events and in 1993 it received the Council of Europe Museum Award. Kobarid is also the culinary capital of the Primorska region, since it boasts many excellent restaurants. PORTOROZ – the Slovenian Monte Carlo Sea, wind, salt, Mediterranean odours, palms, roses and evergreen plants, relaxation, entertainment and companionship are the words, with which we can easily introduce Portoroz, a seaside resort in the heart of Europe. The intermingling of various cultures and music expressions, nature, culinary delights and turbulent historical events, create an atmosphere, in which the everyday life stress and tensions disappear in a relaxed state of mind. The relaxing stroll on the shoreline, recuperating run on the beach, swimming in the sea and pools, beauty and health programmes in spas or sports and recreational activities, will fill you with new energy. Portoroz is a great departure point for the sailing in the Adriatic. DAY 5 Breakfast in the hotel Boat ride to Piran (3km) for a visit Lunch in Piran Drive to Koper (19km) for a wine tasting Return to Portoroz Dinner at a local restaurant Overnight in Portoroz PIRAN- historical gem on Slovenian coast Piran, a typical Mediterranean town designated by a lovely St. Georges Church and square, named after Piran’s most famous citizen - musician Giuseppe Tartini.

  • Križarska Vojska Proti Kobaridcem 1331
    ZGODOVINSKI ČASOPIS 38 . 1984 . 1—2 . 49-55 49 Ivo Juvančič KRIŽARSKA VOJSKA PROTI KOBARIDCEM 1331 Križarska vojska? Da, tako stoji zapisano v dokumentu. Proti Kobaridu? Da." Frančiškan Franciscus de Clugia (Francesco di Chioggia), inkvizitor zoper heretično izprijenost v Benečiji in Furlaniji je ugotovil določene zmote v oglejski diecezi in je v »slovesni pridigi« v Čedadu oznanil križarsko,vojno in pozval vernike, naj po­ magajo.1 Nekateri prelati, duhovniki in redovniki so mu bili v pomoč. Sli so, me brez osebne nevarnosti, vse do kraja Kobarida, v isti škofiji, kjer so med gorami nešteti Slovani častili neko drevo in studenec, ki je bil pri koreninah drevesa, kot boga, izkazujoč ustvarjeni stvari češčenje, ki se po veri dolguje stvarniku«.2 Drevo so s pomočjo omenjenih dali popolnoma izruvati, studenec pa s kamni zasuti. Li­ stino, v kateri je vse to popisano in ki jè tudi edini vir za to križarsko vojno, je izdal 16. avgusta 1331 v Vidmu (Udine) sam inkvizitor Franciscus3 v pohvalo in priznanje udeležencu pohoda, oglejskemu kanoniku Ulriku Bojanu iz Čedada, ki je bil tedaj župnik šmartinske fare pri Kranju. Vladimir Leveč jo je v začetku tega stoletja našel v čedajskem kapiteljskem arhivu, v zbirki plemiške družine Boiano (Boiani).4 Simon Rutar je omenil del tega dogodka v Zgodovinskih črticah o Bovškem, objavljenih v Soči.5 Zveza je razumljiva, ker so Bovčani v veliki večini s Kobaridci, zlasti Kotarji tja do Breginja in po Soči še do Volč imeli istega zemljiškega gospoda v Rožacu. Rutar je napisal, da je krščanstvo, ki so ga širili oglejski patriarhi s po­ močjo čedajske duhovščine, »po naših gorah jako polagoma napredovalo.

  • A Model for the Formation of the Pradol (Pradolino) Dry Valley in W Slovenia and NE Italy
    GEOLOGIJA 64/1, 21-33, Ljubljana 2021 © Author(s) 2021. CC Atribution 4.0 License https://doi.org/10.5474/geologija.2021.002 A model for the formation of the Pradol (Pradolino) dry valley in W Slovenia and NE Italy Model nastanka suhe doline Pradol (zahodna Slovenija, severovzhodna Italija) Manuel DIERCKS1, Christoph GRÜTZNER², Marko VRABEC³ & Kamil USTASZEWSKI² 1Institute for Geology, TU Bergakademie Freiberg, 09599 Freiberg, Germany 2Institute of Geological Sciences, Friedrich Schiller University Jena, 07749 Jena, Germany; e-mail: [email protected] 3University of Ljubljana, Faculty of Natural Sciences and Engineering, Department of Geology, Aškerčeva 12 SI-1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia Prejeto / Received 27. 9. 2020; Sprejeto / Accepted 1. 7. 2021; Objavljeno na spletu / Published online 19. 7. 2021 Key words: wind gap, LGM, erosion, bedrock incision, Pradol Ključne besede: suha dolina, zadnji glacialni maksimum, erozija, vrezovanje, Pradol Abstract In tectonically active mountain ranges, the landscape is shaped by the interplay of erosion/sedimentation and tectonically driven crustal deformation. Characteristic landforms such as moraines, wind gaps, fault scarps, and river terraces can be used to decipher the landscape evolution. However, the available data often allow for different interpretations. Here we study the Pradol (Pradolino) Valley in Western Slovenia, a deeply incised canyon whose floor rests several hundreds of metres above the surrounding valleys. We use high-resolution digital elevation models, geomorphic indices and field observations to unravel the evolution of this peculiar landform. We present a six-stage evolution model of the canyon that includes the blockage of valleys by advancing glaciers, river diversion, and rapid incision due to a high discharge of post-glacial meltwater.

  • JULIAN ALPS TRIGLAV NATIONAL PARK 2The Julian Alps
    1 JULIAN ALPS TRIGLAV NATIONAL PARK www.slovenia.info 2The Julian Alps The Julian Alps are the southeast- ernmost part of the Alpine arc and at the same time the mountain range that marks the border between Slo- venia and Italy. They are usually divided into the East- ern and Western Julian Alps. The East- ern Julian Alps, which make up approx- imately three-quarters of the range and cover an area of 1,542 km2, lie entirely on the Slovenian side of the border and are the largest and highest Alpine range in Slovenia. The highest peak is Triglav (2,864 metres), but there are more than 150 other peaks over 2,000 metres high. The emerald river Soča rises on one side of the Julian Alps, in the Primorska re- gion; the two headwaters of the river Sava – the Sava Dolinka and the Sava Bohinjka – rise on the other side, in the Gorenjska region. The Julian Alps – the kingdom of Zlatorog According to an ancient legend a white chamois with golden horns lived in the mountains. The people of the area named him Zlatorog, or “Goldhorn”. He guarded the treasures of nature. One day a greedy hunter set off into the mountains and, ignoring the warnings, tracked down Zlatorog and shot him. Blood ran from his wounds Chamois The Triglav rose and fell to the ground. Where it landed, a miraculous plant, the Triglav rose, sprang up. Zlatorog ate the flowers of this plant and its magical healing powers made him invulnerable. At the same time, however, he was saddened by the greed of human beings.

  • Jews in Austrian Town Charters of the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Centuries*
    CODIFYING JEWS: JEWS IN AUSTRIAN TOWN CHARTERS OF THE THIRTEENTH AND FOURTEENTH CENTURIES* Birgit Wiedl Jewish settlement took place rather late in the region of today’s Austria, compared to other parts of the German-speaking area, namely the cit- ies along the Rhine.1 Until the late twelfth century, Jews appear only as merchants who are passing through the country.2 Although the number of Jews dwelling in the countryside should not be underestimated, it was the (few) urban centers that attracted the majority of Jewish settlers. Full- fledged Jewish communities developed from the early thirteenth cen- tury onwards mainly in the cities in the eastern part of today’s Austria; however, the positioning of the Jewish inhabitants within the Christian surroundings, particularly with regard to their legal standing, was to be defined in a lengthy process that had only just begun. This was partly due to the equally late development of the Austrian cities and their peculiari- ties in terms of rulership. Unlike many of their neighboring cities in today’s Germany, medieval Austrian towns never managed to liberate themselves from the strong grip of their rulers. Despite the existence of urban centers in the early Middle Ages, it was not until the early thirteenth century that Austrian * Research for this article was funded by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF), P 21237– G18. 1 From the vast literature on the three main Jewish communities (Kehillot Shum: Speyer, Worms, Mainz), see the summary by Rainer Barzen, “Jewish Regional Organization in the Rhineland: the Kehillot Shum around 1300,” in The Jews of Europe in the Middle Ages (Tenth to Fifteenth Centuries): Proceedings of the International Symposium Held at Speyer, 20–25 October 2002, Christoph Cluse, ed.
